My 8 YO is getting an iPod for his birthday. He has been using a non-ipod player for about a year now, and I'm convinced that he will use it and enjoy it. He listens constantly to soundtrack music from Pirates of the Carribbean, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc.
So... $99 will buy a 2 gb Nano or a 4 gb Mini from the Apple Store. My 10 YO has a mini, and I've been convinced how indestructible this thing is. He can stuff it in his backpack, knock it off the table, etc., and it continues to work fine.
So, for my 8 YO, get him the cool color, picture showing, newer technology Nano or the older, bigger (but larger capacity) and arguably much tougher Mini...
I know we could have a discussion about whether or not an 8 YO deserves an iPod. But for the sake of discussion, assume this one does, and weigh on in the model.
Thanks.
